Dao Fruit

"Why don't you know this? This theory was born in our eastern capital!"

Several people in the crowd immediately looked proud, obviously feeling honored. \u0026{}..{}

"That's right." Wang Er nodded, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "Most of the other five people are studying Qiu Xue with great concentration. Let's talk about Cui Sujing from Fujian. He is from the Cui family, but he is very talented in Qiu Xue. After being exposed to it, he developed an understanding and used it to lead many people to escape from Changle Mansion..."

Next, Wang Er told the "story" of Cui Sujing. It was not to praise Qiu Xue's knowledge and practice, but it was also very convincing.

"The way of knowing and doing seems profound, but it is also simple. As long as you understand the core, even ordinary people can tell one, two, three, four, and can use it to guide their daily life. This Qiu Yan is indeed It’s not easy. Hua missed such a great talent because of his mistake. ”

There were several people sitting on the table in a corner of the teahouse.

If Qiu Yanren were here, he would be able to recognize them. The two leaders were Hua Zhang and Zhen Zhizuo from Lizong Academy.

Compared with a few years ago, the demeanor of Hua Zhang and Zhen Zhizuo has obviously changed. Just one look at it makes people feel that they cannot be ignored. There are many people in this teahouse, but there is no idle person coming to this corner. For various reasons.

The person who was speaking at this time was none other than Na Huazhang. This person was in charge of the specific affairs of Lizong Academy. Whenever some talented students or Confucian scholars from various places were recommended, he would nod his head and set a greeting ceremony. Then there will be corresponding specifications to greet you.

On the other hand, this is not only a matter of welcome, but also involves the issue of the Confucian scholar's status in the academy after he enters the academy in the future.

Just consider all kinds of things. Hua Zhangcai did not dare to just rely on the words of Zhen Zhizuo and others and rashly treat a Confucian scholar who had never heard of his reputation with great courtesy.

You know, this will not only make other people confused and dissatisfied, but it is also an unsafe approach, because if you greet him with a generous gift, you will have to invest enough resources in Qiu Yan later. However, Qiu Yan at the time did not Not showing its value on enough stages. If you give them special treatment, it is very likely that they will not achieve anything in the end and will be lost to everyone, which is not worth the gain.

However, Hua Zhang would not pretend to be ignorant of Zhen Zhizuo's recommendation, so he still gave him a certain amount of courtesy. In his mind, it was because of Lizong Academy's reputation. Sending his disciples to greet a scholar who was only slightly famous in Jiannan Road was regarded as a matter of importance. As long as Qiu Yan actually showed enough talent and achievements in the academy in the future, he would of course receive more and more attention.

But what Ling Huazhang didn't expect was. As soon as Qiu Yan came to the academy, he refuted the Jiangnan talented scholar He Shuchang, whom Hua Zhang valued highly, to every detail. He showed a lot of talent and knowledge, and he also had certain insights into Neo-Confucianism. He even showed up to attract Xiao Chen and wanted to take him in personally.

At that time, Hua Zhang had already realized it. His judgment was wrong, but fortunately he was well aware of Mr. Xiao Chen's appeal, so he didn't have to worry that because of his negligence, the academy would lose a talented person who could pass on the legacy.

But what he never expected was that Qiu Yan was unmoved by Mr. Xiao Chen's solicitation and finally left Lizong Academy.

At that time, Hua Zhang actually had a bit of a bad feeling. Fortunately, He Shuchang learned from the pain later and was not devastated by the blow. Instead, he took the opportunity to get into the common people and experience it.

He was the one who insisted on treating Secretary He with courtesy. If Secretary He could show enough talent and learning to gain status in Lizong Academy and the entire literary circle, then he Huazhang would have some ability to recognize people.

Unfortunately, although Secretary He did not disappoint him, Qiu Yan's subsequent life trajectory completely overshadowed Secretary He's achievements. It can be said that a firefly competes with the bright moon.

Hearing Hua Zhang's words of self-blame, Zhen Zhizuo felt regretful, but he still comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself like this. From Qiu Yan's point of view, even if we treat him with great courtesy, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite him." Such a returnee."

Hua Zhang shook his head and said: "Don't comfort me. I didn't do this well. There is no excuse for it. Qiu Yan's status is so high now that some people have even compared him to teachers like me. But when he came to Dongdu at the beginning of the year, he was just a person rushing to take the exam. He may have lofty aspirations, but how many people can predict their future achievements in advance? "

At this point, he sighed again.

In fact, he has not had an easy time in the past few years. After Qiu Yan left Lizong Academy, it didn't take long for the incident of Jiu Huayan to happen. He became famous for a while, and even gained the attention of many great Confucians and masters. .

After that, he became even more unstoppable. He went to Beijing to take the exam, won the first prize, and went north to the grassland. Not only did he become famous far and wide, but he even wrote two military classics!

As soon as the news of the completion of these two classics came, Hua Zhang felt more and more heavy. He felt that because of himself, Lizong Academy had lost a figure who could make the name of Neo-Confucianism spread throughout the ages!

After that, he simply resigned from the position of chief executive, cultivated his moral character, and finally improved slightly. Qiu Yan had been operating in that Jiannan area for several years, and not much shocking news came out. As for that Many reforms in officialdom and the military are not actually valued by scholars.

However, the break of peace was so shocking. With the rise of the White Lotus Sect, everyone who was well-informed was frightened. The White Lotus Sect raised troops quickly, and most of Jiangnan fell in a short period of time. Even because of the White Lotus Sect, Due to the church's blockade of information, many people in the North did not even know about it.

However, people like Hua Zhang and Zhen Zhizuo naturally have sources of information and their connections are quite extensive, so after the troops led by Qiu Yan were exposed, they knew their movements.

Afterwards, each of them was shocked by Qiu Yan's extraordinary results.

Then, after Qiu Yan succeeded and retired, in the next half month, many people among the people just learned about the White Lotus Rebellion——

Don't think this is so incredible. The communication methods and transportation conditions in ancient times are different from modern times. In Qiu Yan's previous life, everyone was a terminal of information. Anything that happened in front of them could be passed on and then passed on through A powerful and complex information network is delivered to every corner.

But in this continent of Darui, even what happened in the village next door is difficult to spread quickly, because most people are tied to their own land and do not have enough means to spread the news.

Even in Qiu Yan's previous life, there were actually similar incidents.

What's more, if possible, the dynasty will try its best to conceal and delay the exposure of this military turmoil.

Many factors come together to create such a strange effect——

People in many places heard the good news first, and then later learned that a large-scale rebellion had arisen in the south. Such a strange situation, coupled with Qiu Yan's feat of going deep alone, and the excitement of his own name and fame, let alone Ordinary people, even the students and Confucian scholars with extraordinary knowledge, couldn't help but exclaim.

What followed was countless admiration, admiration, and many thoughts, one of which was the regret that penetrated the bones of Huazhang.

However, along with it, there is another problem.

"...So, even ordinary people like us can still learn a lot from the way of knowing and doing that Qiu has learned," Wang Er in the crowd was still talking happily, while everyone kept talking. In agreement, there are many scholars and scholars among them.

Looking at the few scholars, Zhen Zhizuo showed a worried look and said, "Put this regret later. The main reason we came out this time is to see how much the people pursue the knowledge of knowledge and practice." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhang also restrained his emotions a lot, nodded and said: "That's it. Now it seems that the foundation of Qiu Xue has been laid down and it has gained a reputation among the people."

If we only talk about Qiu Yan's achievements, everyone will give him a thumbs up, but if we include the knowledge and practice advocated by Qiu Yan, not everyone is so happy.

Because in the eyes of many people in the academy, this means competing with them for orthodoxy.

Unlike the competition between gods for incense, the competition for academy orthodoxy is often more intense. Although there is no bloodshed, it involves a wider range of people and more years of design.

"Qiu Yan's military exploits, let alone the shock it will cause in the court, are enough to arouse the minds of many people among the people and make his Qiu Xue spread."

Several people discussed and left after paying the bill. Amidst the noise of the teahouse, they left the place.

At the same time, disciples from other academies and studies were also patrolling everywhere, all with similar goals to Zhen Zhizuo and Huazhang, and the final results also made them look gloomy, which was obviously not ideal.

………………

At the same time, at the inn where Qiu Yan was staying, Qiu An came with a lot of news, which recorded the movements of people from many academies, studies, and schools throughout the city.

Looking at the description on this paper, Qiu Yan nodded secretly. This Eastern Capital City is a place of outstanding people and a place of great literary excellence. The literary network is crisscrossed here and is extremely prosperous. However, there are so many literary thoughts involved that it is inconvenient to explore directly because of this. There are also many great Confucians and masters sitting here.

Seeing Qiu Yan put down the information, Qiu An said: "Master, it seems that other schools will not sit back and watch us grow bigger."

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily true. I think there are many great scholars who have gained something from the literary network and should be able to make a decision. Now the Central Plains School should not be looking for which one will be the biggest or which one will be the biggest." They are not orthodox, but unite to push the sage’s way to a broader place!” (To be continued...)
